American Architecture II

This course is a sequel to HP 610: American American Architecture I. It will examine architectural developments in America from the middle of the 19th century to the present, with a focus upon the virate intersection of American architecture with the emergence of modern architecture in the rest of the world. There will be special emphasis upon architectural professionalization and its impact on processes of design in all context. Field trip is required.

Hist Structural Sys & Bldg Materials

HP 613 will provide an in-depth examination of current methods and technologies used in the conservation of historic materials and structural elements. This course will also examine the materials and methods of construction used in historic structures in Europe and the United States. The investigation of historic structural systems will include an examination of the technology available and the progressive changes in technology and how it impacted construction methods.

Historic Preservation And Design

An introduction to architectural preservation and design, using sites in Kentucky. Design projects will focus on restoration, preservation, and adaptive reuse of historic structures, new urban infill structures, and new structures within historic urban and rural contexts. Individual and team projects will require interaction with local preservation and planning groups. Course meets for 3 hours each week. Prerequisite: Enrollment in program or consent of instructor.

Internship

Internship providing practical experience in historic preservation. Internships qualifying for academic credit may be undertaken with a government agency, a non-profit organization, or a private-sector firm, depending on the student's interests and professional goals. Internships may take place domestically or abroad. Internships require the approval of the Department Chair, who will develop a plan of study in collaboration with the student and host organization. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits.

Reseach Design

This course will provide students with the basic tools need for an in- depth investigation of a preservation design project, policy issue, or scholarly question. This course, which must be taken prior to enrollment in HP 799, assists students in designing their Master's Project and results in a Master's Project proposal and selection of a Master's Project Committee.

Master's Project

Students work independently, but under the direction of a committee chair and Master's Project committee suggested by the student and chosen in consultation with the department chair or DGS to complete the Master's Project proposed in HP 798. Must be repeated to a maximum of six hours. Prereq: HP 798.

Directed Studies

Independent work devoted to research on specific problems, to challenge the student to synthesize concepts from his total program and relate them to his allied health specialty. Conference, one to three hours per week. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.

Cell Biology And Signaling

An introduction to cell biology and signaling focused on cell types and architecture, membrane structure, cytoskeleton, mitochondria, cellular mechanisms of development, cell division, cell cycle, apoptosis, necrosis and cancer. Emphasis will also be placed upon the signaling pathways controlling these processes.
